And if they are ashamed of all that they have done, show them the form of the house, and its pattern, and the goings out thereof, and the comings in thereof, and all its figures, and all its descriptions, and all its paintings, and all its laws; and write
it in their sight that they may keep the whole form thereof and all the ordinances thereof and do them.
12
This
is the law of the house; Upon the top of the mountain
it shall be built; the whole limit thereof round about
shall be most holy. Behold, this
is the law of the house.
13
And these
are the measures of the altar in cubits: The cubit
is a cubit and a hand breadth; the middle
rim, one cubit, and the breadth a cubit, and the border thereof by the edge thereof round about of a span. This shall be the high bottom of the altar.
14
And from the middle
rim of the ground
even to the lower settle, two cubits, and the breadth one cubit; and from the lesser settle to the greater settle, four cubits, and the breadth a cubit.
15
So the altar, of four cubits; and above the altar, four horns.
16
And the altar
was twelve
cubits long, twelve broad, square on its four sides.
17
And the patio
was fourteen
cubits long and fourteen broad on all four sides; and the border about it
was half a cubit; and the middle which had a
rim of a cubit on all sides; and its stairs were toward the east.
18
And he said unto me, Son of man, thus hath the Lord GOD said: These
are the ordinances of the altar in the day when they shall make it, to offer burnt offerings thereon, and to sprinkle blood thereon.
19
And thou shalt give to the priests the Levites that be of the seed of Zadok, which approach unto me, to minister unto me, said the Lord GOD, a young bullock as sin.
20
And thou shalt take of its blood and put
it on the four horns of
the altar and on the four corners of the patio and upon the border round about: thus shalt thou remove the sin and reconcile it.
21
Then thou shalt take the bullock of the sin and burn it according to the law of the house, outside the sanctuary.
